It has to be June 11th-13th @ Cleveland

Should be interesting.

yup.

I hope we sweep the freak out of Cleveland, and stick it right in the faces of all those freaking "experts" who ridiculed the Nats for firing Manny last year.

I suggest we go all out. dump snakeheads in the Cuyahoga River. steals the archives of the rock and roll hall of fame and pump in go go music. sell the water in lake erie to Dubai. Invite Paul LoDuca to give the Indians a motivational speech. Send Shin Soo Choo his draft notice. Reclaim Grady Sizemore under "best interests of baseball." Have Eagleskins treat Manny to lunch. Send the Village People there to audition a new Indian ("we want you, we want you, we want you as a new recruit").

I am going to go to the Saturday and Sunday game of that series. I still need to get my hotel, but I figure the price will drop when the Celtics knock the Cavs out of the NBA playoffs.

I'd rather have Choo than Sizemore. He'd solve our right field problem...

Might not have him for two years though...

Shin-Soo ought to sponsor some tobacco.

He's not going into the army. He already said one way or another he'd make sure he didn't have to do it.

I'd be ecstatic if the Nats could swing a deal for Choo. I don't see the Indians letting go of him, but they have traded about every player worth a damn over the last few years, so maybe there is still some hope. Definitely one of my favorite non-Nats in the league.

Gotcha, missed that. Then, yes, go get him.

Nope, Orioles, May 21-23. For us locals, local bragging rights is serious business.

I must respectfully disagree. Gotta stick it to Manny.

I don't bear him any malice. He was a sucky manager, he got fired, time to move on. It wasn't like he spent the better part of a decade trying to keep a team out of DC.

O's are a sucky team, Angelos didn't stop us from getting a team. Time to move on

This. The difference is the fanbases. Poor Indians fans are already suffering enough. They're realizing their stupid management has freaked them over. O's fans can piss off.

I'm with Tom, I have no malice towards Manny. The Nats must win the Orioles series or we'll never hear the end of it from O's fans.

The Orioles and Manny can burn. Granted my deepest malice is reserved for those who kept baseball from returning to D.C. or enabled its departure in the first place.

saltydad · « **Reply #18 on:** May 10, 2010, 06:30:06 pm »

I would go for a series win over Philly. Nothing would do it to those crappy little Philthy turds better than for us to win the next series.

Natskins · « **Reply #19 on:** May 10, 2010, 06:38:11 pm »

I'd have to go with beating the O's as a priority, although it would be somewhat embarrassing to lose to Manny.

Since we play the O's in two series, we have to beat them when we're wearing our Senators threads. Although I won't complain if we take both series against them.

That would be:

The Minnesota Twins
The Texas Rangers
The Baltimore orioles

Can't mention that on the MLB board any longer, the mods are deleting threads about the Os.

Yesterday Eddie started a thread comparing the Nats and Os records and it was deleted at some point during the day. I created another thread asking why the first one was deleted and it was gone in under 20 minutes. The only posters on the threads were Nats board regulars and nothing against the stated guidelines was included in either thread. The MLB moderators have suddenly gone from virtually non-existant to over-bearing.

I just tried again, this time I was subtle:
